On most jobs, composition shingle is the most common covering in Pacoima and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the earliest to show UV damage. As a rule, flat and low-slope sections in Pacoima need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Los Angeles County is no different.
Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Pacoima shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Pacoima roof has been maintained. As a rule, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Pacoima inspection, because that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate.
